Grow your own food when you can; shop locally, particularly supporting local farmers when you can; eliminate trash as much as possible, particularly plastic waste; commute to places on bike, on foot, and on public transportation; and give back to the world as much as you can with your presence so any carbon that you do expend is worth it!

What does a typical morning for Summer Rayne look like?

I’m fostering a little red hen who lives with me, so my routine has changed over the past several months. I get up early—5:30AM – 6:30AM—I tend to her, cleaning her water bowl, feeding her, petting her; then I wash my face with cool water; I make myself a savory breakfast; I instagram; I walk throughout my house to see what plants need to be watered; I water them; I go to yoga; I shower; and then I typically work.

What’s your beauty routine?

Super simple and non-fussy. If I go outside for any length of time, I’ll use a tinted moisturizer and sunscreen.

What does free mean to you?

Being who you are and doing what you want to feel your fullest self without any fear.

I love this post. I’ve been curious about house plants lately. She’s decorated her home so amazingly and has done so well to bring the outdoors in.

I am on my way to being a house plant ninja (i have 9 in small space) but I also have pesky little gnat-like bugs that are all over my house plants. I have tried Apple Cider vinegar and a sticky tape, but can’t seem to find a way to fully get rid of the bugs, and I am not willing to give up my plants. Any advice on an insecticide or natural rememdy?

Hey Kim, those are fungus gnats and they are attracted to the organic matter in the soil. You’ll want to have yellow sticky traps for the adults. And get BTI and soak in water and that will kill any of the eggs in the soil.
